1. Forms clouds - Correct. Condensation is the process that leads to the formation of clouds. When water vapor in the air cools down, it changes from a gas to tiny liquid water droplets, forming clouds.

2. Is the change from a liquid into a gas - Incorrect. The change from a liquid into a gas is called evaporation, not condensation.

3. Is the change from a gas into a liquid - Correct. Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) in the air cools and changes back into liquid form.

4. Happens immediately before evaporation - Incorrect. Condensation typically happens after evaporation. Once water evaporates and turns into water vapor, it can later cool and condense to form liquid water.

5. Returns freshwater to the earth - Correct, but indirectly. Condensation itself doesn't return water directly to the Earth's surface. However, it's a part of the water cycle which eventually leads to precipitation (like rain or snow), which does return freshwater to the earth's surface.
